“Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and his allies face 162 violations of state campaign finance laws in connection with allegations of a nearly $61 million bribery scheme. Householder and his associates are accused of influencing elections without disclosing donors and spending as required under state election law. On Thursday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose referred the alleged violations to the Ohio Elections Commission in a 118-page complaint. The complaint alleges they illegally used corporate money or property to support and oppose candidates. Most violations are connected to Householder’s bid to become speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, helping to elect House candidates in 2018 and 2020” – Columbus Dispatch.
